Why Support TCT
News?
Ever read or hear a ghost story, or
alien encounter, or a miracle story, and
then find out later it’s not sourced well,
that it’s merely someone just telling a
story, and therefore not credible?
We hate that, too!
We know that people experience
these things. We know that there’s
more to our existence, that people
see things along with witnesses. If
the supernatural exists in such a
way that people can observe it with
any of their five senses, that means
this phenomena has an effect on the
natural world, and therefore can be
observed, even scientifically observed.
But we are not scientists, we are
journalists. That’s why we created TCT
News, to hold these stories up to the values
of journalistic integrity. We are looking for
video and photographic evidence. We’re
looking for corresponding witnesses, log
entries, documents, anything that can
prove whether or not a story has merit.
If that’s something that you
appreciate, that is why you should
support us. Subscribe to us at www.

Where Royals were born: the 1,000 year old Kukaniloko birthing site of Hawaii.
The Birthing Stones of Hawaii
Carolyn Ncube
Years ago when Kukaniloko was open
to the public and access to the birthing
stones was completely unobstructed,
I visited this sacred place often. I felt
compelled to share the history of this
site with others because the best way
to preserve the past is to bring it to the
present so that future generations will
benefit from this knowledge.
One day, I decided to make the trek
up to Wahiawa to visit the stones and pay
my respects. As a mother, especially one
who had recently lost a child and nearly
lost her own life because of it, I had a
special connection to this place.
After giving birth to each one of my
three children, I realized how much my
body, all female bodies, are machines
meant to do what they’re supposed to
do. Once laboring mothers come to this
reality, faith stamps out fear, and the
business of bringing precious life into the
world is the only thing that matters.
Motherhood is such a powerful thing
that civilizations worshiped fertility
goddesses, while others feared the power
women had to bring life into the world
through physical pain and suffering and
yet survive to love their children with an
ironic mix of ferocity and tenderness.
Civilizations that feared women’s
power to build nations created laws that
subjugated them and continue to do so
today. Hawaiian culture was far from this
thinking.
When visiting Kukaniloko, I would
2
reflect on these things, and I would say
silent prayers of gratitude to all of the
women who labored and delivered great
hope for their people at this place, and I
would honor the wise men that stood
watch and guarded their women as they
did their important work.
Upon one visit I noticed a couple
rambling up the path to look upon the
stones. I knew I would have a significant
encounter with them. As always when I
meet couples for the first time, it took me
less than five seconds to know who loved
whom more in the relationship.
I’ll share more about this strange
ability in future posts, but for now, I’ll say
that in every relationship, there’s one who
loves more and one who loves less. There
is a giver, and there is a taker. One love
feeds the fire. One heart burns desire. I
knew, in this couple’s case, who did most
of the crying … It was her.
The young woman approached and
asked me about the birthing stones. I told
her briefly what I knew of the history
as she half-listened and wandered off
to position herself on one of the stones
trying to mimic what she assumed was
the act of childbirth. Seeing her do this,
the young man laughed out loud and
told her that it wasn’t her best side, which
made them both burst out in further fits
of completely inappropriate laughter.
I was not only floored at their
complete disrespect, I was livid. I knew I
had to do something with the knowledge
I already had about their relationship
dynamic, and so I asked, “So you guys are
Origin Behind Letter “X” on Your Palm
STAFF REPORT
Ancient knowledge of palmistry,
is discerning the lines and symbols
associated with our personalities and
future prospects in terms of career, life,
marriage, money, and health.
The popular ancient practice of
foretelling the future through the
study of the palm traces its roots
to Hindu-Vedic astrology. Based on
several scriptures around the world,
it’s been deduced that in 5th Century
BCE the Hindu sage Valmiki authored
a book containing 567 stanzas, the title
of which translates in English as ‘The
Teachings of Valmiki Maharshi on Male
Palmistry’.
It is believed that from India, the
knowledge and practice of palmistry
sprawled across the world, through
China, Tibet, Egypt, Persia and to several
other countries in Europe.
It is said that it was the Greek
scholar Anaxagoras, who, during his
time around the Indian sub-continent
learned about Palmistry and later
shared the knowledge with Hermes.
Aristotle found the treatise regarding
the matter of palmistry at one of
Hermes’ altars, which he then displayed
to Alexander the Great. The latter took
great interest and began inspecting the
character of his officers by evaluating
the lines on their palms.
Egyptian scholars suggest that
Alexander The Great had a unique
marking on his palm, which was rarely
found in anyone else in the world. It
is speculated that only three percent
of the entire population claims the
marking of the letter ‘X’.
STI University in Moscow, Russia
revealed their research paper on “X Palm
Mystery and Spirit Science Formula”
which studied more than two million
people across the world to understand
the link between the letter X and the
destiny of subjects. They reveal that
everyone with letter X on both palms
were remarkable people.
People with letter X on both hands
are strong in character and their
destiny is always straight forward and
rarely requires planning. While some
people may plan for success all day long,
people with “double X” palm don’t need
any plan to succeed. It’s just a matter
of time for them until their destiny
automatically shapes into a unique
energy cycle which makes the person
“one of the greatest among the rest”.
These people have great sixth sense
or intuition. The can sense, danger,
infidelity, and disloyalty. Over time they
form a special energy cyclone around
them, which people simply cannot
intrude on. Trying lying to them, they
always discover the truth and if you

trying to have a baby, huh?” Surprised by
my question, the young man shot out
his response like a cannon, “Oh, HELL NO!
We’re nowhere close to that point! We’d
have to get married first, and that’s a long
way off!”
His woman’s face clouded over at his
insensitive admission, and while I didn’t
revel in her great disappointment and
embarrassment, I was amazed by how
spot on the assessment was...she was
definitely more in love with him than he
was with her.
“I was just curious because if you
lay on these stones, you’re going to get
pregnant soon.”
Upon hearing the white lie I told
to get her off the stone, the young man
freaked, yanked his woman up, and
dragged her away quickly back to their
car. I imagined that their car ride back to
town was either dead silent or the exact
opposite.
William Shakespeare aptly wrote in
his play The Merchant of Venice, “To do a
great right, do a little wrong. And curb the
devil of his will.” I had no idea if what I told
them about the stones being charged
with the power of fertility was true, but
I needed to stop her offensive action
before her ignorance brought upon some
more severe cosmic reckoning. I would do
it all over again if I had to.
Maybe, just maybe, through that
experience, the young woman was able
to find another relationship path that
would lead to a shared destination. There
are no coincidences - only synchronicities.
do them wrong they will unleash the
hounds o f hell on you. They might
forgive, but they’ll never forget.
These people are sharp, intuitive,
have a great knowledge and the
memory of an elephant. They are easy
to adapt to changing circumstances
and have the tendency to make no fuss
about the things around them.
No-one or no-thing can bring
harm to those lucky few who have
the ‘X’ on their palm.
